Frequently Asked Questions – Paint Stripping in Chester
What should I do before sending my items for paint stripping in Chester?
Please ensure doors or items are dismantled and placed outside the house or in a location accessible for collection. Remove all locks, handles, nails, screws, tapes and hooks for safe transport (hinges can remain if necessary).
Will paint removal be complete if panels or pins remain on the item?
No. Any attached panels or retaining pins must be removed to ensure paint is fully stripped from underneath.
Are all materials suitable for the stripping process?
Only solid wood items are suitable. Chipboard, hardboard and some plywood can absorb water and may fall apart during the stripping process.
Can modern paints or varnishes be completely removed?
Some modern finishes such as polyurethane or acrylic can be difficult to remove. In those cases, non-caustic hand stripping may be used for better results.
What potential issues may arise during paint stripping?
Stripping can reveal hidden defects not visible under paint, including scorching from previous heat treatments or areas filled with products like Polyfilla that will not be removed during the process.
How can I identify my doors after they are stripped?
Mark your doors on the top or bottom and match them to the corresponding frames, or use a small metal staple so each door can be easily identified after stripping.
How long does paint stripping take in Chester?
Stripping typically takes 3–5 working days, sanding 5–7 working days, and full finishing around 10 working days, depending on the complexity of the job.
